Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons instant espresso powder (or finely ground espresso)

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan or line it with mini muffin liners.

Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Stir gently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Incorporate Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.

Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant espresso powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.

Bake the Brownie Bites: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

Cool and Dust: Remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once completely cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve these rich espresso brownie bites warm or at room temperature as a delightful treat with your favorite coffee.
